  • Patent number: 11157471
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to facilitate a database tuning as a service offered by a cloud platform as a service provider. A throttling detection engine, associated with a database service instance, may periodically determine if an automated database tuning process should be performed. When it is determined that the automated database tuning process should be performed, the throttling detection engine may transmit database performance metrics. A database tuner as a service, coupled to the throttling detection engine, may access aggregated database performance metrics of the database service instance and determine a set of tunable parameters associated with the database service instance. The database tuner as a service may then execute the automated database tuning process to recommend, using an intelligent algorithm, a new set of configurations for the set of tunable parameters to be applied to the database service instance.

  • Patent number: 11157266
    Abstract: An updater platform may create a listening delegator process, associated with a listener file descriptor, within a deployment (without implementing an accept protocol). The platform may execute an original instance of an application process within the deployment and intercept a socket creation call from the original instance of the application process and replace it with the listener file descriptor. As a result, incoming connection requests are received by the listening delegator process and forwarded to the original instance of the application process. The platform may then determine that a configuration update is to be made to the application process and start an additional instance of the application process, with the updated configuration, within the deployment, such that incoming connection requests are received by the listening delegator process and forwarded to the additional instance of the application process. The platform may then switch off the original instance of the application process.
